+3 Interview: Impromptu Shakespeare

“We’ve just finished a fantastic run at the Bristol Shakespeare Festival.”

WHO: Ailis Duff, Actor

WHAT:“A completely improvised Shakespeare play inspired by audience suggestions. Bursting with comedy, love, tragedy, mistaken identity and everything in-between, this show will delight Shakespeare nerds and newbies alike. Back for a fourth year, the cast buckle on the Bard’s britches to bring you the plays he never wrote.”

This is our fourth year at the Edinburgh Fringe and we’re very excited to be back! We’ve had a wonderful year performing around the country and we’ve just finished a fantastic run at the Bristol Shakespeare Festival, and now we’re heading to the Big Cave at Just the Tonic – our biggest venue yet!

Tell us about your show.

The show group first started in Oxford several years ago, and since then we’ve gathered various improvisers from groups all over the country. We’re made up of a rotating group of improvisers from some of the best groups in the U.K., and we’ll be touring the South West in the Autumn as well as doing several shows in London.

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?

There is so much wonderful improv to see at this year’s Fringe! A few that we’d recommend are our friends The Maydays and Notflix, as well as the Bumper Blyton Improvised Adventure and Adventures of the Improvised Sherlock Holmes. Also check out our Bristol improv pals in This is Soap and Murder, She Didn’t Write. So much to choose from!
